With new management coming into place headed by new CEO Ian Sharpe, sources close to the company tell onGamers that Azubu plans on re-launching Azubu.tv in the upcoming months. 2013 saw Azubu sponsor Riot's League Championship Series, and partner with League of Legends team Counter Logic Gaming and the Cyber Sports Network for streaming.
Azubu has confirmed that its StarCraft 2 team will officially disband at the end of the week on Friday, February 28th, while onGamers has learned Azubu.tv is in the plans of a relaunch.
As a result of Azubu’s change in management, there is a strategic focus on forming partnerships with existing teams and players across the spectrum of eSports", Azubu said in a statement provided to onGamers. "Team Azubu consisted of nine players, a Team Director, Team Coach and Team Manager. Of the nine players, seven had already taken the decision to leave, with just 'BBoongBBoong' and 'SuperNova' currently remaining on the roster."
"We still view Starcraft II as an important game on the eSports scene and it will continue to form a key part of Azubu’s programming content."

Well at least it wasn't a shady company anyway.

I wonder if they'll be picking up a struggling LoL team. Does such a thing exist? Surely it must...
Well, bye Azubu. Thanks for keeping former oGs players and BboongBboong fed for a while.

GG Azubu. I was really cheering for you when you entered GSTL untill Axiom came in with Acer.

Hopefully their restructuring will prove to be worth it in the end, and they can put all of this behind them.

Fixed that.
Its bad for the players, but i would like an organization like that away from e-sports, at least until we know exactly what are they really doing to get money.

Understandable since most of the time the stability of the stream was miles beyond Twitch. GG Azubu, even though I never 100% understood what you are.

Programming content or Progaming content?
Honestly never knew and still don't know what Azubu.tv is.

Wonder where symbol and Supernova go. Those 2 will 100% be picked up by someone you would think. Samsung can use a terran for sure, Samsung Supernova? And KT or Prime desperately need a top zerg, KTsymbol, symbol Prime anyone?
